Not to speak too soon BUT
If we win today and Villa get a result on Wednesday (remember they were robbed at Etihad so will be bang up for it), then we would go to Leeds next weekend knowing a win takes it down to 5 points with just 5 games left. Surely if that is the case (I know we need to win and Villa take points off City) then people would have to admit we were making a late push for the title?
I looked at City’s fixtures last night and due to cup commitments they’re playing about 2 games a week for the next 3 weeks. They play a few Saturday/Wednesday games as well which are gruelling on the legs. From what I saw yesterday they already appear shattered physically and mentally so their fixtures can only help us in the title race. Factor in KDB being out for the season (potentially) and that’s another huge boost.
Could City collapse? They’ve lost back to back domestic games now and their quadruple dreams are over. Despite the fact Jose is done, it wouldn’t surprise me at all if he did a ‘Jose’ and beat them on penalties next week. They look toothless lately and if they were to drop points against Villa, lose to Spurs and take a beating against PSG they could capitulate allowing us to pinch the title. A lot of their players look finished to me like Sterling, Jesus, Mendy etc.
It could get interesting but we will wait and see.
Hidden Title Pressure?

Burnley at home today is exactly the type of game that has let us down all season, think this article should have been written after it

Let’s see if we are 5 behind a week today. If we are then the title is on.

its only on and remotely so if you can win all 7 games.
Its not about the gap coming down. you still need to win your matches

We have shown numerous times under Ole that we are able to win 7+ games before in a row. Literally from day one.

Yet again Boris makes a statement and yet again it’s completely wrong.

Champions aren’t always able to perform at their best, but they win.
Whisper it, but we can win this title.
We just can’t stop winning and City look frail. Anything other than a win on Wednesday and I really do think they’ll cave in.

Culer who do you think will win the league in France? Crazy 4 horse title race and the team who was 1st recemtly are now 4th after a few bad results recently. They are currently winning to make the top 4 separated by 3 points and only 3 have potential CL spots.

Mean recently. Also if only we had our points in the French League we would be right in the title race.
